Klishch O. Light installation as a means of compositional forming of an image of the urban space

The object of study is the composition and light images of urban spaces, the subject - characteristics, methods and application means of light installations in architecture of the urban spaces. The main purpose of this thesis study is to identify the historical background, characteristics, means and methods of use of light installations in forming a composite image of the urban space and the development of recommendations for the modeling light images of the city. The hypothesis of the study is that the light environment planning of cities should reflect objective compositional characteristics of urban space and ensure the formation of a comfortable, functional and aesthetic environment by applying light installations. The sequence of the methodological guidelines is based on a structural and logical scheme of studies and corresponds to the following phases: preliminary studies of features of the architectural and urban planning structure of the urban space; determination of the light installation character; determination of compositional techniques of modeling the visual-dimensional images of the city using the means of light installations. Thus, the results of the conducted studies made it possible to identify the historical and architectural background for appearing of and the current tendencies of light installations; identify features, means, techniques and methods of their being applied in the urban space; as well as develop guidelines for forming light visual-dimensional images of the city using the means of light installations.
